Weightlifting

Weightlifting is a sport that involves lifting weights. In its modern form, it is a strength sport that also requires mastery of a particular technique, speed, flexibility, coordination and balance. In competition, two lifts are evaluated: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The athlete has three attempts at each lift. The sum of the athlete's best snatch attempt and the best clean and jerk attempt gives the Olympic total. The athlete with the best Olympic total in his or her body weight class wins.
